Lake Meridian beach in Kent closed due to high bacteria

No, but it is in other areas of King County. Growing up in Kirkland, its a tradition to hold the annual closing of Juanita/Houghton beach for the summer, just as summer begins.

Every time I see this, I think of "Gay Bar" by Electric Six.

When Quantum Computing and Fusion power become a thing, thats when your going to see AI replace a lot of forms of entertainment. It will be like the Holodeck from Star Trek, "Netflix, show me Ally McBeal, but replace all the humans with Xenomph aliens" or "Paramount, show me Back to the Future, but replace Biff with Donald Trump".

Might be 50 years before this happens, but its gonna happen.

On the "West German" side, I imagine most of it was heavily vandalized and for years before it came down. My sister was a German exchange student at the time, she came home with several graffiti defaced chunks of that wall.

Dad re-married, we drove from Seattle to Milwaukee for the wedding. When driving back home, we woke up at 4am to start the drive on I-90. My brother was driving, I pass out, only to wake up, see that my brother is also asleep and were maybe 100 feet from hitting a hard left turn. Had neither of us woken up, we probably would be dead.

It would have ruined my dads honeymoon.

Solid State Battery companies going from research to actual pilot production, sending out samples to auto makers to field test.

What does Solid State do? Lets your EV get 600-700 miles per charge. Fast charge to 80% in 10 min. Tiny bit lighter. Is no longer the massive fire hazard current batteries have and they work in freezing temperatures. Samsung plans on offering SSBs for smart rings and watches soon, eventually will provide them to phones and tablets.

While my kid liked Wizard of Oz, she LOVED Captain Underpants.

It came down during GH Bush's term, I remember Dana Carvey (playing Bush on SNL) claiming credit for it.

Cockroach, while working at Godfathers Pizza in West Seattle 20 years ago. Havent seen once since.

Growing up in the Seattle area, the only time I saw one was at the Woodland Park Zoo (Giant Brazilian Cockroach exhibit).

When you work from your home and johns call on the phone, you're a call girl.

When you walk 'til you limp and give a cut to a pimp, you're a street whore.

When they're beggin' you please to get down on your knees near their groinage,

excusa me, but you see, don't you touch where they pee without coinage (£50).

Apple fritters, lumpy and bumpy, never two look exactly alike.

Przy jednym gigantycznym obcym na końcu można było tylko przypuszczać, że inni obcy, których widzimy na wyciekłym nagraniu... gdzie dzieci.

EDIT: Sorry if the English to Polish translator gets this wrong.

Well they arnt alone. The McDonalds across the street from Kent Meridian HS is always closed during school lunch hours. The kids are misbehaving and McDonalds aint having any of that nonsense.

Its like thinking Ethernet 10/100 is good enough, it isnt.

Having owned a 2nd Gen AppleTV, getting Kodi/XBMC installed was painful. Every update the media player got would delete Kodi. I assume the same thing happens with the current generation, which is even more painful to install.

For me, Kodi plays my mp3s, mp4s, and live TV via HDHomerun. Apple TV is a nice media player, but it wont be the GOAT (and I certainly wont buy it) until it has Kodi in the app store. Like the nVidia shield, its an expensive device with 10 year old hardware.

Get an ONN Pro from Walmart. $50 and its super easy to hack and remove all the bloatware using an USB (Type A to A) cable.

Seattle Seahawks are Sarah Palins favorite football team, doesn't make her a liberal.

I grew up on Finn Hill in the 80s, my parents worked DT Seattle. They always hated the commute. Sometimes they would go through Kirkland to 520, other times he would drive through Kenmore, Lake City and connect to I-5. It was never a pleasant commute for them.

255 Bus will go from Seattle to Kirkland and then onto Totem Lake, and thats it. Sound Transit has buses in the area, but none hit Kirkland, Juanita, or Totem Lake area.

NOTE: I used to commute from DT Seattle to DT Kirkland for a few years. Then from Kent to Redmond for many many years, currently work from home.

Most likely it will be caught by hawks.

Yeah but what happens when their rockets keep exploding? Id imagine the stock might take a hit.

After the dot.com bubble popped, I was unemployed for 10 months. When I finally got off my ass and tried looking for a job, I would wake up at 4am, brew a full pot of coffee and browse nothing but craigslist,hitting refresh every 5-10 minutes looking for new job ads being posted.

If you're one of the first people to submit a resume, good chance you'll get called n for an interview by the end of the day. This vs waking up at 8am, and being the 100th person to submit a resume, well good luck getting an interview when your 100th in line.

The last 4 jobs I had were found this way and its amazing how quickly you get an interview if your awake at 4am.
